Introduction
Manage Channel Groups.
Permissions and notification rules can be managed more effectively using groups of channels. Use Channel Groups to organize your channels, very useful when you have a large number of channels.
From here you can:
- Click Add Channel Group to create a group
- Click Edit to modify a group
- Click Remove to delete a group
- Click the drop-down arrow to show the channels in a group
So how exactly can I organize things with Channel Groups?
- Limit user access to one or more Channel Groups, using Roles
- Define email rules for a Channel Group, using Monitoring
- Check the Channel Group Permissions summary
Tip: Use dashboard tooltips to see the groups for a channel:
Create or Modify a Channel Group [top]
Click Add Channel Group to create a group or Edit to modify a group.
To Create a new Channel Group:
- Enter the Name and Description
- Select the Channels to include in the group

- Press Add Group
To Modify an existing Channel Group:
- Modify Name, Description or Included Channels
